## Summary

The University of the West of England bought consumable parts and accessories for photocopying equipment as part of a print managed service. The requirement is described as a consumable call-off order, supporting the university’s printing and copying operations. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, and the service relates to activity in the surrounding South West area. This is a goods requirement rather than construction or professional services. The relevant classification is CPV 30125000, covering parts and accessories of photocopying apparatus. The arrangement is with DESK TOP PUBLISHING MICRO SYSTEMS LIMITED, a Leeds-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. DESK TOP PUBLISHING MICRO SYSTEMS LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award was made on 4 June 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract is active and covers the print managed service consumable call-off order. The award relates to photocopying apparatus parts and accessories for the university’s requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for ongoing consumables supporting a university print managed service. A credible competitor would need to supply parts and accessories for photocopying equipment and support a call-off arrangement over a substantial operational period. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route shows that familiarity with the university’s requirement, reliable fulfilment and the ability to handle recurring consumable orders may be commercially important when a similar need is considered. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be served by a focused specialist rather than only a large national provider. Relevant businesses include suppliers of photocopier consumables, managed print support and equipment accessories serving higher-education customers.
